Airport Border Control issue on toilet paper

There is no problem with visa(s) and such between US and other countries. Technically they can ask to see a return ticket or something else, I've personally never had that happen.

As a practical matter, one might want to add a few money to list of things to bring unless your only goal is to gt to the airport and hang out for an hour or two before getting on the plane home.

Thousands of business travelers are carrying toilet paper with them. Because you can't get good toilet paper in the US. You really have to have international business experience to know this. It's some kind of conspiracy.
